I havn't, but I've only hunted 4 full days. I've yet to have any deer in range. Anyone have a big 'un get their heart thumpin' yet?

    Unfortunately, I have yet to see anything other than a couple of doe and some fawns while hunting. I did see two bucks chasing a doe while I was leaving my lease a week ago. No monsters, but at least there are bucks out there!

    On another subject: Ben, who are you rooting for in game 7 tonight? The Astros who kept the Cubs out of the playoffs, or the dreaded Cardinals?

    i have hunted for 3 days and have a gotten a wet * 2 those days without seeing anything

    My old man's backhand used to land,
    Hard on the side of my head.
    I just learned to stay out of his way.
    There's been streetfights, blue lights,
    Long nights with the world sittin' on my chest:
    It just showed me how much I could take.
    Hard times, bad luck.
    Sometimes, life sucks.
    That's all right, I'm ok.
    It ain't nothin' but another day.

    I firmly believe that the cubs kept the cubs out of the playoffs. Go Houston.

    I've seen half a dozen or so small bucks and what seems like a pile of does (probably the same ones walking in circles though [:D]). Other than that it's been really slow. I'm not even going out this weekend, but I'm getting married so that effects it to. [;)]

    I haven't heard of any of my buddies seeing anything really big yet. Sure hope that changes.

    To late guys, it's gotta be done now.
    No more hunting? Spend the day with her and her mom? Hello...who are you talking to? This poor girl normally spends her birthday alone because me and boys have and always will go fishing the first week of july. You think she's gonna effect my hunting?? No sir.
    The real reason I'm not hunting tomorrow morning before the wedding is because I need to spread manure on the garden and till it up, then mow the yard and blow all the leaves away. It's rained all week and I couldn't do it.
    [:D] see ya later, gotta go see if my suit is pressed and wrinkle free.

    Thanks everyone.

    UPDATE (sounds like when they say it on unsolved mysteries)
    Saw a nice 10 or 12 this evening. Sounded like the guy farming the land I was hunting came up and got a piece of equipment out of a storage building. About a minute after hearing him heading towards that building that deer came sneaking through an old orchard then headed of to a brushy point across/above from me. It was dark when I got down so I need to check this out this week and see where my stands moving to. [;)]

    The place I'm going in illinois e-mailed me and said they saw a 170 class and another big buck crusing along a fence line. Sounds the rut is starting to kick a little. I'm still shuffleing my stands back home I'm zeroing in on a buck. haven seen him yet all the signs are pointing to him being decent hope i'm not dissapointed.

    The place I hunt in Southern Il. holds some true monsters. It is very deep and HUUUUGE woods with minimal pressure in their 'secret places'. On one hand it is really fun to hunt, because there is not enough pressure to force bucks to become nocturnal, they just go deeper into the woods. On the other hand, it is nearly impossible to pattern the animals because they can walk miles in any direction without having a natural funnel like a fencerow and such.
